Diffractive dissociation reactions at the COMPASS experiment, CERN, provide access to the meson resonance spectrum. During a pilot run in 2004, using a pion beam on a lead target, a competitive number of π⁻ π⁻ π⁺ final state events with masses below 2.5 GeV/c² were recorded. After COMPASS had finished its muon program in 2007, it used in 2008 again a pion beam, but now a liquid hydrogen target, and gathered during several weeks a unique high statistics. A full partial wave analysis of the 2004 data has been performed, with the focus on the kinematic range of a large momentum transfer (0.1 GeV²/c² ≤ t’ ≤ 1.0 GeV²/c²). In addition first results of the adjacent analysis with 2008 data will be presented.
